November 16, 2018 – In recognition of Hellas Construction’s achievement of over a million dollars in sports construction projects procured through the Cooperative Educational Services (CES) during this fiscal year, Hellas was formally recognized by CES at their Board meeting on October 24th.

Hellas was presented with a beautiful glass statue accepted by Ruth Hawley, Hellas’ Cooperative Contracts Manager. “We are very excited about this achievement,“ Hawley stated. “We are confident that Hellas will continue to see growth due to our partnership with CES and look forward to a successful future serving its members.”

The award was made possible by Hobbs Municipal Schools, a member of CES, who procured their synthetic turf replacement and field events surfacing projects for New Mexico’s Watson Memorial Stadium through Hellas’ cooperative purchasing contract with CES and AEPA (Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies).
